The course on “Blue Bio-refinery technologies: from research to the industry with applications on products and biomaterial from algal biomass and sidestreams of fisheries and aquaculture” is supported by ERA-NET Cofund on Blue Bioeconomy Unlocking the Potential of Aquatic Bioresources (BlueBio), co-organised with the National Research Council (CNR Italy) and the University of Foggia (Italy), with the patronage of the European Society of Marine Biotechnology (ESMB), is now open for applications.
BlueBio ERANET COFUND coordinates R&D funding scheme to strengthen Europe’s position in the blue bioeconomy and addresses gaps to finally identify ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.
The goal of the course is to improve technological knowledge on biorefinery processes, theoretical and practical approach.
The target to address the course is PhD holders and/or experienced people in the field (priority researchers from BlueBio ERANET COFUND projects).
